5.0 out of 5 starsThe Only DSM That You Need
By Peter B. Dunn MD on September 30, 2005
Format: Paperback
This is a modest little book that you can fit into your pocket but it does everything that its big brother (the much more expensive, full version of the DSM IV-TR) does -- at half the price and with greater ease of use. While the unabridged DSM IV is pretty much a textbook of psychiatry, minus only treatment recommendations, this abridgement unpretentiously lists just the diagnostic categories and the relevent (concisely phrased) criteria. Professionals will find it a handy source of symptoms and diagnosis for insurance purposes. Non-professionals will find it usable for the purpose of diagnosing themselves, their spouse, their parents and problematic friends.

5.0 out of 5 starsHandy
By B. Young on March 19, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The Quick Reference guide is great. If you are student in counseling or clinic psychology this book will extend the life off your back, due to its light weight and smallness of stature.

It contains the criteria for all mental illness in the DSM-IV-TR and is handy.

One reviewer said that it is the only DSM that you will ever need. That person is correct.

5.0 out of 5 starsIf you work in an ER or assessment setting...
By Russell A. Carleton on May 14, 2006
Format: Paperback
I used this booklet as a quick reference in my work in a hospital ER and in doing intakes. It's meant to simply be a handy reference to the DSM criteria, and can't replace the study, consultation, and experience needed to understand the difference between clinically problematic and non-problematic behavior. If you work within the DSM/ICD/insurance system, and you've heard the phrase "justify your diagnosis" before, here's an invaluable and pocket-sized (well, for a big pocket) tool.

1.0 out of 5 starsDSM Quick Reference
By Patience on October 5, 2007
Format: Paperback
The book itself is fine, however, it is exactly the same book as the DSMDesk Reference which is confusing and lead me to purchase both thenhad to return this one. The DSM Desk Reference is spiral bound and nicer.

5.0 out of 5 starsI use this all the time!!!
By Joseph H Feriante on April 13, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I know that the DSM IV-TR is on its way out so this book won't be useful much longer. But, the seller knew that too and priced the book accordingly. I still use the the IV at my traineeship and this is my go to source for diagnostic criteria. It is so much easier than searching the full manual. I will get the same thing for the 5 when I finally switch over. the size is great so I can carry it with me all the time.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery useful
By L. Parker on December 1, 2007
Format: Paperback
This is so much easier than carrying the huge book around. It is short and sweet. I do have to refer to "the big one" from time to time, but love this little thing!

5.0 out of 5 starsWorth the money
By Billy Idol on February 27, 2008
Format: Paperback
It is exactly what it says, a quick reference. If you are buying it for clinical work for quick referencing in staff meetings it is perfect however it does not replace the full DSM for thorough case studies. If you need a quick and small reference, I would suggest buying this book.

4.0 out of 5 starsEssential pocket guide for the psychiatric resident or serious medical student
By Rachel Johnston Rodriguez on October 23, 2009
Format: Paperback
I started using this guide the day I received it, and it has been an essential pocket reference ever since in my psychiatric rotations as a medical student. It is small enough to fit in the pocket of a lab coat but complete enough to provide DSM criteria for all the most common psychiatric illnesses. The only problem is that I use it so much that I think the binding will break. Some of my colleauges have a version with a spiral binding that would solve that problem.
